6 a.m. day after 
ChristmasI throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold, car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping, 
I am numbAn' up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to 
CharlotteThey're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
She's a brick and 
I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and 
I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and 
I'm drowning slowly
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that 
I gotCan't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
She's a brick and 
I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and 
I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and 
I'm drowning slowly
As weeks went by it showed that she was not fine
They told me son it's time to tell the truth
And she broke down and 
I broke down'
Cause I was tired of lying
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
And she's alone and 
I'm aloneAnd now 
I know itShe's a brick and 
I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and 
I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and 
I'm drowning slowly
